摘要/Abstract

摘要： 国际化已成为新兴经济国家企业实现创新追赶的一种重要战略。然而,现有研究对于新兴经济国家企业国际化与创新的关系机制缺乏关注。本文整合组织学习理论和制度理论视角,探索了国际多样化对创新绩效的影响,以及所有权结构的调节效应,并以中国制造企业为样本进行了实证检验。研究发现,企业国际多样化对创新绩效具有显著正向影响;跨国公司入股正向调节国际多样化与创新绩效之间的关系;而国有控股对国际多样化与创新绩效关系的调节效应并不显著。研究结论对于新兴经济国家企业国际化具有理论贡献和实践意义。

Abstract: International diversification has emerged as an important strategy for firms in emerging countries to fulfill innovation catch-up. However, prior research largely ignores the mechanism of international diversification on innovation performance of firms in emerging countries. Integrating the organizational learning and institution-based theory, this study aims to examine how international diversification can be beneficial to firm's innovation performance based on survey data from samples of manufacturing firms in China. The result shows that international diversification is positively related to innovation performance. We also find that the positive relationship between international diversification and innovation performance is stronger when firms are taken an ownership interest by foreign firms, and is not significant when firms are state-controlled. The study results will have significant theoretical and practical implications to the internationalization of the enterprises in emerging countries.

Key words: emerging countries, international diversification, ownership structure, foreign partner ownership, state ownership
